Religion?

It's great that this woman has found her art in kick-boxing. But where did she get this idea that the other arts would have "interfered with her Christian beliefs"?

Sure, there may be one or two with some sort of Eastern religious side or "flavor". But in majority, regular martial arts is no more religious than golf, football or ...kickboxing.

Is it the bowing part that so many people take as a religious symbol? If so, then our handshake would be classified as one as well! Jeez...

Story:
She had a "haywire" reputation when she was young, Pipe says.

Pipe started kickboxing because her dad practised martial arts and she'd always wanted to be part of it.

Also kickboxing was the only martial art without a religious component and she didn't want to be involved in a sport that interfered with her Christian beliefs.
